[SlugLUG] New Install report

[Rohan Sheth]

Ubuntu will only have you reboot on kernel updates.  Recently they have
had a few kernel updates, they are more rare in the long run.  Usually
the kernel is only updated for security fixes and actual kernel
versions are released in new Ubuntu versions not within a release.
